- the non-return valve 40 is mounted substantially vertically in alignment with the outlet orifice 16 and the inlet 24 forming a flow conduit, in the central well 23 and is held in place by compression of the external annular flange 43 in a housing defined between the guide skirt 17 and the outlet orifice 16.
- the non-return valve 40 is mounted so that the fluid in its normal flow direction flows into the inlet chamber 42 and then pressurizes the walls of the frustoconical zone, then finally the lips 44.
- the non-return valve 40 is thus deformable between an elastic rest position in which the flow conduit is closed in leaktight manner when the pumping means 3 is stopped, and an open position in which the cond flow outlet is open when the pumping means 3 is in service.
- the pressure of the fluid flowing in the inlet chamber 42 is sufficient to exert pressure on the lips 45, 46 which allows the opening (FIG. 5) of the slot 46.
- the lips 44, 45 naturally resume their elastic rest position corresponding to a tightly closed position of the slot 46 (FIG. 4).
- non-return valve 40 of mechanical type such as spring valves, movable between the two positions defined above, by rotation, sliding, etc. 'one of these alternative embodiments (not shown in the figures), the non-return valve 40 will be formed of a ball freely resting in a sealed manner by gravity on a seat formed in the central well 23 or in the base 1 to level of entry 24. It is also possible to mount electrically controlled valves, such as solenoid valves.
- the user after having filled the reservoir 4 with the fluid to be treated and for example with water coming from the distribution network, starts the pumping means 3 which ensures the circulation of the water under its normal operating pressure.
- the start-up can be ensured by a conventional on / off switch, preferably provided, for safety reasons in particular, with an auto shut-off.
- the water thus passes at a flow rate for example of the order of 0.8 to 1.2 l / min from the reservoir 4, through the tube 15 to reach the inlet chamber 42.
- the pressure exerted on the internal faces lips 44, 45 allows the opening of the slot 46 and the passage of the water to be treated in the upper part of the well 23, then in the decantation chamber 22 which is filled.
- the largest particles can be deposited at the bottom of the chamber, the progressive filling of the latter also allowing a homogeneous distribution of the stream of water to be treated over the entire section of the cartridge. 20.
- Such a distribution has the advantage of avoiding preferential paths of the water to be treated through the filter composition from the bottom part 21 of the filter, which contributes to improving the quality of treatment.
- the water to be treated then continues its journey through the entire section of the cartridge 20 to the upper part of said cartridge, then travels through the pouring tube 33 to a recovery container (not shown in the figures).
- the Schore resistance of the non-return valve 40 will be of the order of 40 ⁇ 5 Schores.
- the cover 27 is in the form of a truncated cone defining, from the perforated column 28, walls inclined towards the lower part 21. Such an arrangement facilitates the exhausting air upwards through the perforated column 28 and consequently prevents the development of bacterial foci.
